I've been bartending the last few years since finishing school. I'm looking for something a bit more serious workwise, but at the moment I'm just enjoying being here and being able to leave my work at work.

On my down time, you’ll find me regretting my choice of not moving to a warmer city. I love biking all around the city and finding new stuff that I've never seen before. When I’m home, I’m hanging with my cat, Bitey. He's pretty neat.

I quit smoking and started exercising daily since the summer. It's the best thing I've ever done for myself. Going to go all winter only using my bike to commute if I don't freeze out first.

I’m really good at

Writing dating website profiles, obviously.

My friend tells me to put that I'm really good at making people laugh, and convincing people to get out and have a drink.

So, essentially, my company drives people to madness and alcohol.

The first things people usually notice about me

I have a weird name.

Also, probably the smell :(

Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food

Books: Right now I'm reading You Can't Go Home Again by Thomas Wolfe and loving the hell out of it. After that, I'm excited to finish the Game of Thrones series. I like anything that comes out of the stable of frequent This American Life contributors, especially David Rakoff. Dan Savage is a personal hero of mine. I also enjoy Charles Bukowski, Paul Auster, David Foster Wallace, Joseph Heller, and other people who've written words on paper.

Movie: Lots! I like to go often. I love anything a little weird and different.

Shows: Breaking Bad is my favorite thing on TV right now. I also like The Walking Dead, Portlandia, Battlestar Galactica, Arrested Development, Dexter, and the like. I probably watch too many cartoons for a grown up, but Home Movies, Archer, Bob's Burgers, and The Venture Brothers are some of my favorite things ever. Also, I think South Park is a lot smarter than it gets credit for.

Music: Lately I've been listening to a lot of Best Coast, Jay Reatard, Tame Impala, Wilco, and Wu Tang. I'm into tons of stuff. Come to a show with me!

Food: Pretty much everything. For some reason, I crave steak tartare when I'm hungover. My favorite food is the kind I've never tried before.
